NOVEL WEB Chapter 763: Division
"Divine!"
The Great Celestial Master looked serious, with a hint of guilt in his voice, "I have gained nothing from the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower. Whether observing the stars or in retrospect, I could not uncover the truth about Huang Fuqing's battle dragon theft. However, it currently seems that the Longevity Association and Purgatory are the most suspicious."
He then explained the reasons, "I'm unfamiliar with Duan Huaixia, the current Tower Guardian of the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, but I know the previous Tower Guardian, Qi Lechun. He was famously cautious and responsible, having guarded the tower for 20 years without any mistakes, and the supply of Dragon Skin paper never faltered.
Moreover, in these 20 years, both the Divine Affairs Department and the Imperial City Department conducted inspections and inventories every year. Twice, even Qi Lechun's archrival personally led the inspection. If Huang Fuqing's battle dragon had been stolen during that period, it would have been discovered long ago. Nine months ago, the upheaval at the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower was personally orchestrated by the Great Song Dynasty's Taizu and Taizong.
These two individuals not only are backed by the Three Gods of Purgatory but are also members of the Longevity Association. Upon reflection, their intention at the time was truly just to divert our attention towards the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower."
The East Abyss mused, "So you think they used some method to conceal the inventory after the chaos at the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower. Having achieved success, why would they go through such effort?"
"Perhaps it was to buy time? To prevent us from immediately knowing their true purpose."
The Great Celestial Master frowned, "At that time, the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower was shrouded in thick fog, and an extremely potent hallucinogenic drug was detected. No one knows what exactly they did. Also, thinking back to the explosion in the Demon Suppression Forest two years ago, it appears suspicious as well.
The ambush laid out on the river aimed to encircle Lin Hao was led by the Longevity Association. Investigations revealed that it was the fierce battle on the river that covered the Heavenly Demon's submarine, which dug into the layers and planted explosives, bypassing the two candidate Divine Envoys. But what exactly was their intention remains unclear to this day."
"There is some logic in this; it would be wise to assign a smart and capable person to investigate this direction in detail."
The East Abyss nodded, speaking with a harmonious blend of male and female voices, "And what about Lin Hao? This person has interfered with both incidents."
"The problem is that the Duke has no motive." The Great Celestial Master slightly shook his head, "Perhaps it's merely a coincidence, just happening to be involved, or maybe the Longevity Association deliberately framed him, trying to eliminate him. After all, Lin Hao's every movement was decided days in advance. However, I cannot be certain, so I still list him as a suspect. I have already ordered three Elite Dragon Guards to monitor Lin Hao's every move."
The Elite Dragon Guards are at the pinnacle within the Dragon Guards; they nearly all possess the combat power of candidate Divine Envoys, with some even reaching Divine Envoy Level.
Dragon Guards at this level of power require the Great Celestial Master's utmost attention.
"It's not enough! Send four more red-clad High Priests to keep a tight watch on him."
The East Abyss raised their hand, presenting a small knife purely condensed from Martial Intent and Astral Force to the Great Celestial Master, "Do you see this secret technique of mine?"
The Great Celestial Master looked at it, puzzled, "Divine One, this seems to be your newly developed secret technique, the Truth Sword? But its form has changed."
"This is the Root Slash! Essentially derived from my Truth Sword, yet its level surpasses my developed secret techniques."
The East Abyss squinted, "Just yesterday, I was slightly absent-minded, and within my consciousness appeared this entirely new secret technique. It's a further elaboration on the basis of the Truth Sword, a more refined secret technique. Currently, I only grasp the basic framework, but the intent of this framework is extremely high, almost reaching the level of the Tenth Realm Supra-Emperor."
"Tenth Realm Supra-Emperor?" The Great Celestial Master couldn't help but gasp in shock.
It should be known that the highest martial arts secret techniques in the world today only reach the Ninth Realm level, as beyond the Ninth Realm, the Martial Intent of the Immortal Level, once conceptualized, wields vast divine power, influencing all things and controlling the world by their will.
Therefore, secret techniques that can impact battles at the Tenth Realm are few and far between.
"The person who developed this technique has profound knowledge of the Truth Concept."
The East Abyss dissipated the small knife in their hand, placing their hands behind their back, "Also, a few days ago, the Vice Celestial Master of the Mechanical God Temple prayed to me, stating that the battle dragon sealed beneath the base of the Mechanical God Temple has shown some minor activity, its True Spirit perhaps attempting to return from the Heavenly Curtain."
The Great Celestial Master's eyes slightly narrowed.
This Martial Intent of Tan Shenzi is 'Truth', conceptualized up to eighty-seven percent of Extreme Longevity!
In the current Sky Extreme Star World, the complete 'Truth' created by the Supreme Heavenly Venerate of yore has been obliterated, but countless successors tread the path of condensing 'Truth'. Their conceptualized, incomplete 'Truth' still covers the Tianji World, not yet a complete concept.
Just like the East Abyss, whose 'Truth' may have reached above ninety-eight percent, always pervades the world.
As for the vice Celestial Master of the Mechanical God Temple—rumor has it that the 'Mechanical God' there is reaching the end of its life. The interior of the Mechanical God Temple is in frequent chaos due to the infiltration of the Heavenly Demon ideology, almost collapsing.
Earlier, Lin Rui had raided the heresy prison of the Mechanical God Temple, and the Mechanical God Temple has not responded to this day, powerless against him. It can be said that it has exposed the powerful facade of this Divine Sect.
Therefore, there's nothing surprising about the vice Celestial Master of the Mechanical God Temple praying to the East Abyss.
"But take heed, I only instructed you to keep an eye on him; unless there is conclusive evidence proving his involvement with the remnants of the Truth Divine Throne, do not act recklessly, All Gods—"
